AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a dynamic balancing apparatus and methods using a simple harmonic angular motion. The apparatus includes a rotational shaft with a rotational body having an unbalanced mass. The rotational body is periodically vibrated to generate the periodic angular motion. The apparatus measures the dynamic balancing by measuring the linear vibration generated by the rotating unbalanced mass. The apparatus reduces the time and effort required for balancing rotational components using conventional balancing machines. The invention also reduces the impact of air flow generated by the rotation of fans or blowers. The apparatus and methods provide a simple and effective solution for dynamic balancing.

Problems solved by technology

In the conventional balancing method, if a rotational body has a very heavy weight, it may be impossible to directly rotate the rotational body, and thus it needs an additional device for rotating the rotational body very slowly and gradually.

Particularly, in case of fans or blowers, since the centrifugal force or corresponding vibration is disturbed by air flow generated when they are rotated, it is difficult to measure the unbalanced mass accurately.

Furthermore, since the conventional balancing apparatus needs an accelerating time until reaching a certain rotating speed from the initial state and a decelerating time which is required to stop the rotating state safely, it takes lots of time to complete the dynamic balancing.
